My mom searched for years for an authentic German cheesecake recipe, but Germans use 'quark', an ingredient not readily available in the U.S. This recipe uses cottage cheese in place of quark and makes its own crust while baking.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 pound small curd cottage cheese
½ cup butter, softened
4 medium eggs
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

Gradually add the sugar mixture, beating until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla and mix just until smooth.
